Reply To: RT-AX86U wired network connection to second WIFI network Hi all, So I have setup a 2nd WIFI network which I’ve connected all my IOT devices to. I’m now considering setting up home assistant on a virtual machine and…

Hi,

IoT devices are all on 2nd WIFI and no issue with them seeing each other.  Nothing on 2nd WIFI can see main network devices. ah dam, any plans for Asus to bring that to the RT-AX86U? I see it is on the RT-AX88U.  Soo annoying, looks like I bought the router too soon, should of waited and bought the RT-AX86U pro…

Had a look at the guide quickly, will take a bit of familiarisation on that, not really done much network config, last time I did any network config was cisco stuff back in 2005 on a course for CCNA…. no doubt has all changed since then and no doubt different commands being non-cisco.

other option is indeed a raspberry pi or some kind of mini pc that can run home automation.  Don’t think I have anything in main network BUT I believe the raspberry pi has a LAN port so i guess i could potentially connect it to 2nd WIFI and Lan to main network but would that allow traffic between the 2 networks or just the raspberry pi to access both networks i.e. if I said access device 192.168.1.x it would go via LAN and if I said access 192.168.2.x it would go via WIFI? or would I need to somehow ensure no data can pass between the 2 networks?

Thanks
